Purestone,

Glad to hear this got fixed. There is another device that will reduce the pressure in the line and you might want to pick that up here in the states by your local plumbing supply house and take it with you. My pressure in Savaneta is tan bueno as well. I never open the shower valve more than a little.

Good luck. Stay cool.

sounds like water pressure might be an issue every where. We talked to customer service at the Web folks and they said they will send someone out to check the pressure and she said they can adjust it or fix it if need be which it obviously needs to be. She said we are the first ones from Ruby to mention it. The plumber did offer to install a pressure valve for 400AFL. We will see if we can get it fixed by Elmar first. My husband is a civil engineer you have no idea how this drove him crazy for months. He did figure out the problem on his own so we are back to a not so crazy house.

I've been back on the island for a couple of days now and WEB put a new water meter on and automatically included the lock out valve I mentioned. The pressure in my house is WAY UP from before and it was solid before. I checked all my pipes, valves, and internals to be sure things were holding. Looks good.

Next week, say around 12 July or so, I'll be posting a new section on my blog called "Aruba Practical" and it will include photos of things like water meters, water heaters, furniture stores, things that may be of interest to people who want to live on the island.

Of course there will be other wacky posts about the local scene as well, all at the blog mentioned in my signature.

Thanks.
